The vanadium flow battery (VFB) was first developed in the 1980s. Vanadium is harder than most metals and can be used to make stronger lighter steel, in addition to other industrial uses. It is unusual in that it can exist in four different oxidation states (V2+, V3+, V4+, and V5+), each of which holds a different electrical charge.
The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is among the most relevant technologies for energy storage. The model implemented in this chapter was derived by Qiu et al. (2014) and Nguyen et al. (2014, 2015) from the experimental analysis of a commercial product. Specifically, the authors characterized a typical VRFB of 5 kW, 20 kWh, and 50 V.

VFBs are suitable for grid connection or off-grid settings - ideal for renewable energy. VFBs can discharge 100%, without any damage to the battery. VFBs are non-flammable. Power and energy can be scaled independently. Vanadium electrolyte can be re-used and does not need to be disposed of. The batteries can be cycled more than once per day.
That arrangement addresses the two major challenges with flow batteries. First, vanadium doesn''t degrade. "If you put 100 grams of vanadium into your battery and you come back in 100 years, you should be able to recover 100 grams of that vanadium—as long as the battery doesn''t have some sort of a physical leak," says
